The Devil Drives A Mercedes Benz Poem by Paula Glynn

Starting out as a 25-year-old career obsessed woman
Entering a high-level office job on a good salary
Charming all her skilled co-workers every day
And also charming her attractive male boss
Where he is always nice and never cross
Guiding her and letting her have her professional own way.

But he also feels an intense attraction for her:
Her beauty profound and her personality charming
And so he talks nicely to her and is disarming
Calling her into his cluttered office regularly
Assigning work tasks to her that she does prefer
Flirting with her yet subtle with his approach.

Soon she begins to fall under his hypnotic spell
And he loves her vanilla perfume he does smell
For time has told this tale many times
Time does tell with every other hypnotic spell
The laws of attraction between employee and boss
The lingering eye contact and sultry voice a sign.

She does dress up daily with tights and skirts
She does wear her red lipstick that she keeps in her purse
She does wear her Christian Louboutin high heels
Fashion and style she does rightfully steal
She does enjoy this clothing and having him feel
And going out at night with him for a romantic meal.

Her passion, her love, her affection and her kisses
Where she is no longer a teenager washing the dishes
She is 25-years-old and her heart is sold
To her forward, sexy and in-control boss
That does have incredible appeal and is wonderfully bold
As if he some kind of messiah like Jesus on the cross.

Soon their torrid affair out in the open
Their magical and secret love finally spoken
Her co-workers happy for her and celebrating with a party
And they wear their gold engagement rings like a token
For the office rules they may have broken
But true love has blossomed and has spoken.
